HURRICANE SAFETY

HURRICANE PREPARATION TIPS

The Carle Place Fire Department urges all residents to be prepared for the next hurricane season, or in the case of possible ferocious storms.

The American Red Cross urges you to assemble a Disaster Supplies Kit including the following items:

  • First aid kit with essential medications

  • Canned food and a manual can opener

  • At least 3 gallons of water per household member

  • Protective clothing, rainwear and bedding or sleeping bags

  • Battery powered radio, flashlight and extra batteries

  • Special items for infants, elderly or disabled family members

  • Written instructions on how to turn off electricity, gas and water if authorities advise you to do so. (Remember, you will need a professional to turn them back on).

  • Prepare a hurricane evacuation route, if authorities order you to evacuate
